Oh my word!


Thank you! I think its a little too long next time I wil make it a bit shorter.
I just got that machine today at Wally World! Do you love it? It shows a "gathering" stitch on the box.. is this right? or just showing what you can do with it... with pulling it? I would be so excited. ... otherwise I want to get a ruffler foot.
You know you have a problem when. . .
you want to redo the boys bedroom with a Star Wars theme and can't find (affordable-meaning less than $100 each) bedding. Instead of giving up on the idea, you make duvet covers yourself! Here is the result:
I bought the sheets from potterybarn- with shipping and tax, they were almost $150 for both beds! No way would I buy the whole set from them

It's a duvet cover, so it is not smooth or flat. It is very lumpy and comfy! I just need to finish up the button holes on the top. I couldn't find my buttonhole foot during the move.
Oh my word!Where was that child's mother?
That is totally Megan! Thank you for posting the pictures; they are all so cute!
I have the Brother 7700 and it gathers like a dream with the tension method!![]()
Wow Stacy, did you applique STAR WARS? That is so cool! My boys would love a Star Wars room!
I love the pictures! Especially cupcake Lily! And you have some great ones of Morgan's smile!
I used the same woven cotton fabric I use for other appliques.
Is that one of the heavier bottom weight fabrics? I have some stripe that looks very similar. This is the one I have:

If this is the one you need, maybe we can work a trade - the stripe for some of your dots.![]()
I love the top pic fabric! Cute! Good luck finding it!![]()
So do you have any to spare of the dot? Please pm me if you can part with some!!! I have been trying to get it for two years now!![]()
If you would be willing to part with some of the mickey dot, please PM me!!
Awwww way to go Tessa!!!!I had to share a story that made me so proud! Tessa is watching Spongebob and they're waiting in line for a roller coaster. She said "What? Didn't they get a fastpass?" I'm so proud of my Disney-lovin' girl!
Wow you have been busy! All your bags look amazing!!Howdy all! I have not been around for a few months. I look but do not contribute. Mainly because I have not sewn any cloths since or trip in Sept. I need to start thinking about our trip for this coming Sept though! Everyones work is amazing and it is so inspiring! After this baby is born and I have a few weeks to get into a groove, I hope to start with cloths again. Lately I have been spending all my sewing time on purses and daiper bag.

Oh what a sweet picture...all 3 are adorable~!!!!Max is adorable! And he looks an awful lot like our baby! Who still thinks she is a lapdog even though she is huge! The kids just adore her and she is a great dog, but yes, there has been a lot of peeing and chewing...

It has lots of errors in it, but it's good enough & she loves it. I definitely need to have my machine serviced & ruffler foot fixed before I can do anything else. Maybe I just need a new machine!I figured I needed to do a few outfits before I insisted I needed a new machine, but I would love to have one that embroiders Disney characters!

Oh no, I hope she starts to feel better soon! I hate it when the little ones get sick!Lydia has been throwing up all day, so I have been holding her, and reading the Dis most of the day! But, I'm all caught up now!Unfortunately, Lydia is still throwing up!
Stacy....you ROCK girl!!! Look at you...way to make it happen!!! I bet the boys love them!!! Where are those two handsome boys?? We need pics of them with their new bedding!!!You know you have a problem when. . .

If you bought the ebook after 2007, then the updates will automatically be in your library. Carla has updated the Portrait peasant, Stripwork jumper, All the Rage Raglan, Easy Fit Pants, Festive Vest, Perfectly Preppy Skirt and Bowling Shirt. They have smaller sizes, and she has reworked some of the patterns too. I know in the raglan pattern she adjusted the fit and the sleeves. Follow her blog and you'll know all of her updates.

Mindy, that puppy is cute and all, but Sydni's hair is to die for! What a gorgeous child and I am soooo jealous of her beautiful curls.
Queenie, things have really started to slip around here if they aren't using your true royal name! We've got to get them with the program! Have a great anniversary weekend. Congratulations on 29 years! That is fantastic!
YOUR HIGHNESS! We're SO SORRY! She's a cricut newbie! She simply didn't understand your royal status. Please forgiveness those in your kingdom for her error!![]()

A few days ago I had posted about "what to do with khaki pants" And got a great idea to make "safari" theme easy-fit pants.
My question now is the pants have that "iron crease" down the front. I trying to figure out how to possibly incorporate that. Maybe? I a outfit in my head based on the pictures people have posted of Minnie in her Animal Kingdom outfit. Do I completely take the pants apart and then try to figure it out?
TIA!
Hey all you American Girl mommy's out there....
guess what I found on my way up north this weekend?? AN AMERICAN GIRL OUTLET STORE!! uh-huh!! I DID!! And I thought about all of you as we passed it. So......... if we have fans of AG out there.... this is the place to be!
I think I'd press a crease in the pants and top stitch it
Just my thoughts.
That is the one!
I sent a PM. Let me know if you still need the fabric or have already found it elsewhere.![]()
So, Zoe was away most of yesterday and this morning on a sleepover with my sister and BIL. You'd think I'd use the time to relax or do something self-indulgent. Nope, I sewed most of the time.It was fun, though, since I was working on something new. I'm definitely thinking a lot about warmer weather so I decided to do a surfer themed set.

I actually had the shirt mostly worked out in my mind before this weekend but got stuck on what to do for the shorts. I was initially thinking about doing jean shorts with applique and then remembered some madras plaid patchwork shorts I saw at Gap (or another store) last year and decided to make my own patchwork 'fabric'. I lucked out and found a few cool prints with a surfer/tropical on clearance at the local quilt shop and added in a couple I already had in my stash. Making the 'fabric' took a lot more time than I'd expected but in the end, I'm very pleased with the results.
I have to admit I still struggle with finding fun prints for boys but I think these work pretty well. I thought a blue and white hibiscus print (like one from Kaufman) would be cool in the mix but since I didn't have any and the store didn't have any I'll try that on another patchwork.![]()

I decided to line the shorts completely since there are so many seams of the patchwork. I got very frustrated when I tried to remember how to stitch the layers together at the hem so when turned right side out, the lining was where it was supposed to be.![]()
That is a great suggestion...but what I am doing is using material from a few pairs of my boyfriends khaki pants that have holes in them. I have lots of usable material and the pants already have the "iron crease" , and I am trying to figure out if I can in incorporate that, or if it is a lost cause? And should I take the pants apart to figure it out?
I really want to find out who the designer or name of this fabric is...I MUST have it....Is there anyone out there who can help me![]()
I found it!! It's Marcus Brothers, Two Young Street Bold Geometric by Prints Charming. They have some at fabricparadise dot com but you may be able to find it cheaper elsewhere. I love it too!
